Cause and preventability of in-hospital mortality after PCI: A statewide root-cause analysis of 1,163 deaths.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Mortality is the most devastating complication of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). Identifying the most common causes and mechanisms of death after PCI in contemporary practice is an important step in further reducing periprocedural mortality.

Objectives

To systematically analyze the cause and circumstances of in-hospital mortality in a large, multi-center, statewide cohort.

Methods

In-hospital deaths after PCI occurring at 39 hospitals included in the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan Cardiovascular Consortium (BMC2) between 2012 and 2014 were retrospectively reviewed using validated methods. A priori PCI-related mortality risk was estimated using the validated BMC2 model.

Results

A total of 1,163 deaths after PCI were included in the stu
